To hell and back.............who wants to go next time?

I just got back from a awesome weekend wheeling and camping on the Hell Hole OHV trail at Hell Hole reservoir. Had such a good time, planning to go back. Hardcore trail with a great place to camp and fish. Even ran across the adopted owners of the trail, the Capital City Mountain Goat 4wd club. I am planning to head back some time in August. I wanted to see if there was interest in going from anyone here and what dates would work for those interested. I am still in the pre-planning stages but figure I would start early. This trail although short (4 miles), is a hardcore, slow, pucker-factor, what the heck am I thinking trail. Took 6 hours in and 4 hours out. This trail is more difficult than Slickrock and Deer Valley, to give two examples to compare too. Damage is very possible, I have a minor dent on my door, another rig had a dented bed side, some only had rock rash and some had mechanical damage (bent drive shaft, busted e locker). Expect some bumps and bruises. Post up if interested. More pictures in the album.

Man that sounds like a fun relaxing trail. Too bad I'm booked for this year. I've got a truckee trip coming up, Sierra trek at fordyce in a few weeks, pismo in sept, a major camping trip in October. Next year I'm down for a summer run with the jeep.
